They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

A conserved adaptor orchestrates co-secretion of synergistic type VI effectors in gut Bacteroidota.

T6SS effectors BtpeA & BtaeB are distinct cell-wall-destructive enzymes. Adaptor BtapC & “checkpoint” mechanism ensure co-secretion of BtpeA & BtaeB.

4 people are dead & 19 are hospitalized in a Listeria outbreak linked to pasta meals sold at Trader Joe's, Walmart & other supermarkets. Listeria is one of the food-borne pathogens no longer tracked in RFK jr's revamped CDC. Here are the others: Campylobacter, Cyclospora, Shigella, Vibrio & Yersinia

The HPV vaccine is doing what had been promised.
17 years after it became available, HPV infections decreased significantly in vaccinated people and unvaccinated people because of herd immunity. buff.ly/WvjQ1BS

Immunometabolic reprogramming of macrophages by gut #microbiota-derived cadaverine controls colon #inflammation.

Cadaverine rewires macrophage metabolism via Nrf2 activation. Concentration dictates anti- or pro-inflammatory outcomes.

4 vaccines are linked to a lower risk of dementia
-Flu shot
-Shingles vaccine
-RSV vaccine
-Tdap vax (tetanus, diphtheria & pertussis) shot

As it turns out, some vaccine-preventable diseases are linked to accelerated brain atrophy & therefore increased dementia risk wapo.st/4pFbCIG

A marine bacterium (Vibrio anguillarum) with a type 6 secretion system can only thrive on alginate (brown algae polymer) if co-cultured with a species (Vibrio cyclitrophicus) that degrades the alginate, suggesting a reliance on the 2nd species' byproducts
